## **Directors' Report**
## **For the financial year ended 31 December 2022**
The directors, who are the charity's trustees, present their report and the financial statements of the company for the ended 31 December 2022.
## **Structure, governance and management**
Chartered Accountants Support Limited is a company registered in Northern Ireland, which was incorporated under the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 on 27 January 1989. The company is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The objects of the company are charitable in nature, and it has established charitable status. The company was registered with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland on 6 November 2015.
In the late 1980s the charity was revitalised and two legal entities were incorporated and registered as charities. These are Chartered Accountants Support Limited, a Northern Ireland registered company, and its sister company, Chartered Accountants Support Designated Activity Company (DAC), a Republic of Ireland registered company. Both companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of Chartered Accountants Ireland.
The company charitable activities are performed in association with the Republic of Ireland registered Chartered Accountants Support company. Mr. B. Delahunt are members of the board of directors of both companies. A manager is employed by Chartered Accountants Ireland who acts as principal contact between Chartered Accountants Support Limited and its beneficiaries. The day-to- day management of the company is carried out by the manager and staff of Chartered Accountants Ireland and is overseen by the board and the secretary of Chartered Accountants Support DAC. The company does not distinguish between beneficiaries on the basis of country or residence. In the event of approved benefits exceeding donations received therefrom, Chartered Accountants Support DAC will fund any such additional amounts payable. By the same token a shortfall occurring in Chartered Accountants Support DAC will be met by this company.
Directors are appointed to the company in consultation with Chartered Accountants Ireland. The articles of association require that the number of directors shall be not less than two nor more than seven. The articles of association require that one half of the directors for the time being retire each financial year by rotation.
Chartered Accountants Support Limited is registered as a charity in Northern Ireland and complies with all relevant legislation and the Charities Regulator Governance Code. The overall governance structure is set out in the Governance Handbook which is available at https://www.nicva.org/sites/default/files/d7content/attachmentsarticles/revised_code_of_good_governance.pdf.
## **Principal risks and uncertainties**
The directors have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and have reviewed those risks and established, under the administrative oversight of Chartered Accountants Ireland, systems, and procedures to manage those risks. All grant expenditure is approved by the Board. The financial statements are subject to an independent external audit.
The directors believe that adequate measures and controls are in place to mitigate risks and uncertainties to ensure the company continues to maintain a satisfactory level of funding to support grant application and also the ability to perform all day to day activities.

## **Directors' Report (continued) For the financial year ended 31 December 2022**
## **Objectives and Activities**
The charity was established for the relief of necessitous persons who are or have been: - a) members of Chartered Accountants Ireland, or Accounting Technicians Ireland at any time, b) trainee accountants or accounting technicians who have trained with but are not members of the aforesaid Institutes, and c) necessitous persons connected by ties of relationship or dependency at any time with persons included in the above categories. Grievous misfortune or illness can visit any of us, at any time, with serious effect. Chartered Accountants Support carefully considers the requirements of each situation and offers appropriate support including, but not limited to, training and development, professional counselling, and financial assistance in the form of monthly payments or emergency grants.
The company has a policy of issuing grants in accordance with its charitable objectives. All such payments receive specific board approval following a process of appropriate contact by the manager.
The company main income derives from annual contributions made by members of Chartered Accountants Ireland and also through various fundraising activities. Income is also derived from interest and recoverable tax. Support in kind includes a value for support provided by Chartered Accountants Ireland.
Income is expended on grants and other payments to beneficiaries in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and overseas.
In setting our objectives and planning our activities for the year the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland's guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities have helped to achieve the charity's purposes and provide a benefit to the beneficiaries.
## **Achievements and performance**
The board and beneficiaries wish to express thanks for the continuing donations received from a small group of Institute members, who, over the years have contributed to the funds of Chartered Accountants Support. The clear objective of the Board is to pro-actively engage with members and increase the percentage of donating members.
There was no change during the financial year in the development or the nature of the charity totaling £66,500 _(2021 - £51,750)_ were made towards the support and maintenance of necessitous persons.
## **Public benefit**
The main public benefits arising from the aims, objectives and activities of the charity are a reduction in poverty, unemployment and hardship leading to a better quality of life for the beneficiaries and consequent improvements in health and well-being, in turn leading to an ability to again play a useful role in society in general.
The directors confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 4 of the Charities Act 2008 to have due regard to the public benefit guidelines published by the Charities Commission for Northern Ireland.

## **Plans for the future**
The company will continue to provide assistance of both a financial and non-financial nature to members and their families who find themselves in difficult circumstances.

## **Going concern**
The directors have considered the forecast for the next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and are confident that, with the plans for 2023, and the continuing support from Chartered Accountants Ireland, the company has adequate resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future.

## **Directors' Responsibilities Statement For the financial year ended 31 December 2022**
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company and charity law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under the law, the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with Companies Act 2006 and FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" issued by the Financial Reporting Council.
Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the company as at the financial year end date and of the profit or loss of the company for the financial year and otherwise comply with the Companies Act 2006.
- In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in operation.

## **Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Chartered Accountants Support Limited**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Chartered Accountants Support Limited for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities incorporating the Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of its surplus for the financial year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions related to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

## **Chartered Accountants Support Limited**
## **Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Chartered Accountants Support Limited**
## **Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
- the Directors' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Directors' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
## **Responsibilities of directors**
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

## **Chartered Accountants Support Limited**
## **Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Chartered Accountants Support Limited**
## **Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
## **Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud**
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
As part of the audit we gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Company and the sector in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the Company that were contrary to applicable arities direct impact on the financial statements such as the Charities Act and other laws and regulations applicable to the Company such as employment law, data protection and health and safety legislation. We considered financial performance, key performance indicators and other performance targets. We also considered the risks of noncompliance with requirements imposed by the Charity Commission, and other regulators, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the Company financial statements.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations, potential fraud risks and that there were no known matters of significant non-compliance with laws and regulations, to all engagement team members, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: donations and revenue recognition.
## **Our tests included:**
tement disclosures
of
material misstatement due to fraud.
As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluations, whether there was evidence of bias in accounting estimates by management or the Board that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Page 9
## **Chartered Accountants Support Limited**
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.
